I originally was hyped for Cyberpunk. What I wanted was a darker single player story based experience. What they seem to put out was an open world Saints Row/GTA type game with bugs galore. Will this update give me what I wanted ?

Quoting: pleasereadthemanual

Quoting: PublicNuisanceI would have preferred they went with Open Collective. It would have allowed people donating to have the flexibility of one time contributions as well as recurring; would have given people more transparency in how and where their money is being used; and would have allowed people to use Stripe or Paypal versus just Paypal.

Do you have any opinion on Liberapay?

I think Liberapay does a lot right. They're FOSS; allow Stripe and Paypal; and allow you to show links to repo and social media accounts for projects and people. I wish they had an option for one time donations though as they only do recurring. They also don't force projects/developers to show how much they make and where it goes so there is no transparency for people who donate. I can understand for developers because if I give money to a person I assume they're using the money to pay personal expenses but for projects it's nice to see expenses explained.

I would love to say that this will push more developers to use FOSS engines but my faith in developers isn't that high.

Not a fan of the genre but love seeing people do things like this. The more games using Vulkan the better.

It looks like it will also be available on Itch.io and GOG when it launches for those who prefer alternatives:

Quoting: Pengling

Quoting: PublicNuisanceA good first step but to get me interested in even a discount purchase they also have to banish the need for a Bethesda.net account.

Oh, is that actually required for this game? At least in the Unity engine ports of Doom and Doom II, you can cancel out of the prompt and it'll never pester you about it again.

From the Steam page for Doom Eternal:

"Requires 3rd-Party Account: Bethesda.net (Supports Linking to Steam Account)"

I don't know if I can opt out but I won't be taking the chance.

I may have interest if Aaron Giles ever makes the project FOSS.
